Polish Army Soldiers Confront An US Humvee In A Military Firefight Training {Military Capability}.
MILITARY CAPABILITY:
Iremember, as a 17-year-old taking an A-level in history, coming home from school and one of my mums asking what I had learned that day. She knew we were studying the Soviet Union, and it was a subject she felt close to: her parents were Polish-Jewish refugees who’d found safety in the USSR after fleeing east in 1939. Her father was in the Red Army from 1939 to the end of the war. When I replied that I’d learned how many people Stalin had killed, estimated at 6 million or more, my mum bristled: “Is that really all they teach you?”
At the time, my mum’s prickly response surprised me. Stalin’s death toll seemed too big to carry any caveats. The sheer enormity of the number – which included many Jews – eclipsed any curiosity for marginal histories or rival experiences, however close to home. But our exchange stayed with me, and over time crystallised into a lesson that every history syllabus struggles to convey: sweeping narratives of heroes and villains, victors and vanquished, good democracies and evil dictatorships, cannot capture the contradictions of how life is lived on the ground.
I often think of this around Remembrance Sunday, when comforting binaries of “good” and “bad” come to the fore. A reassuring story – of British bravery and sacrifice – is told as if it’s the only one. In this sense, my mother’s mixed views of the Soviet Union, passed down from her parents, confound the dominant narrative , which sees the communist states purely through the prism of the cold war that came after 1945.
But, as the historian Sheila Fitzpatrick noted in a recent essay in the London Review of Books, such views aren’t uncommon. “Many Polish Jews … who found themselves in the Soviet Union during the war, deportees as well as refugees, retained affectionate memories of the place and its people, whom they experienced as not antisemitic and generous in sharing the little they had with strangers,” she writes.
Growing up in Australia after the war, my mother lived history’s contradictions first-hand. In 1945, her parents returned to Poland briefly, then travelled to Marseille to board a boat to Melbourne, where she was born. One year, as Australia’s Remembrance Day approached, her primary-school teacher asked the class to bring in any war medals their fathers might have. She skipped home and, bursting with pride, told her dad she needed his Red Army medals to show her teacher and classmates. “I don’t think that’s a good idea,” he said, smiling. It was the late 50s, amid the escalating cold war, and her parents’ saviour – and the west’s key ally in the war – was now her home nation’s sworn enemy.
This isn’t a call to reappraise the Soviet Union or tyrants such as Stalin but to

Lyrics:
You're the one that I've been waiting for
Gotta quit this crying
Nobody's gonna heal me if I don't open the door
Kinda hard to believe, gotta have faith in me
Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out (Look at me)
Get down, get down, get down, get down (Look at me)
Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out
Look at me now
'Cause all I ever wanted was love
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah yeah
All I ever wanted was love
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah, hey yeah yeah (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
I want your stupid love, love
I want your stupid love, love
(Oh...)
Now it's time to free me from the shame
I gotta find that peace, is it too late
Or could this love protect me from the pain?
I would battle for you (Even if I break in two)
Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out (Look at me)
Get down, get down, get down, get down (Look at me)
Freak out, freak out, freak out, freak out
Look at me now
'Cause all I ever wanted was love
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah yeah
All I ever wanted was love
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah yeah (Ooh ooh)
Hey yeah, hey yeah yeah (Ooh yeah, ooh yeah)
I want your stupid love, love
I want your stupid love, love

I don't need a reason (Oh)
Not sorry, I want your stupid love
I don't need a reason (Oh)
Not sorry, I want your stupid love
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh...

TURKE

ATHENS: Greece and its EU allies held war games in the Mediterranean Wednesday while Turkey conducted drills with the US navy nearby, as the row between the two neighbors over gas and maritime borders ratcheted up another notch.
The convergence of a growing number of warships on an energy-rich but disputed patch of sea between Cyprus and Crete came as NATO and a host of European officials called for cooler heads to prevail.
Greece and Turkey are ancient rivals with a litany of disputes — despite both being members of the NATO military alliance.
They nearly went to war over some uninhabited islets in 1996, and earlier this month frigates from the two sides collided while Turkey was searching for energy in the eastern Mediterranean.
The threat of another conflict could imperil Europe’s access to a wealth of new energy resources and draw in nations such as Egypt and war-torn Libya.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he was “personally regularly in contact with Ankara and Athens.”
After failed shuttle diplomacy aimed at getting the two sides talking again Tuesday, Berlin on Wednesday criticized the naval exercises as “not helpful.”
The emerging crisis is quickly rising to the top of the agenda not only regionally but also in Brussels and Washington.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said after telephone talks with US President Donald Trump that Athens was “ready for a significant de-escalation — but on condition that Turkey immediately stops its provocative actions.”
But Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted Wednesday that Ankara would not accept preconditions such as suspending its gas exploration before resuming dialogue.
Turkey will “make no concessions on that which is ours,” Erdogan said.
Greece was able to secure the support of EU military powerhouse France in three days of war games starting Wednesday that also include Italy and Cyprus.
The Turkish defense ministry conducted its own drills with an Italian navy vessel on Tuesday.
And the same US destroyer that took part in the exercises with Turkey had staged air and sea maneuvers with the Greek navy south of Crete on Monday.
The seeming shifts in allegiance highlight Rome and Washington’s desire to avoid challenging Erdogan because of Turkey’s importance to conflicts in Libya and the Middle East.
But France has joined Greece in shadowing the Turkish vessels and is openly warning Erdogan against overplaying his hand.
The Mediterranean “should not be a playground for the ambitions of some — it’s a shared asset,” French Defense Minister Florence Parly said.
Simmering tensions began bubbling over when Turkey sent the Oruc Reis research vessel accompanied by warships into disputed waters on August 10.
Greece responded by dispatching its own n

Joint military exercises Sea Breeze - 2020 are continuing in the Black Sea. The military have already practiced repelling attacks from high-speed small boats and shoot at various targets. This was reported by the press center of the State Border Service of Ukraine.
"Tactical maneuvering in formation and orders, exchange of information and target designation between ships, repelling an attack by high-speed small boats, shooting at coastal, sea and air targets, simulating an air attack on ships and air defense of a formation during the transition to the sea - all these elements of the exercises are traditionally are being worked out according to NATO standards, "the message says.

The State Border Guard Service said that the ships of the Russian Black Sea Fleet tried to interfere with the exercises, which constantly monitored the maneuvering of NATO ships and closed the areas. The Coast Guard of the Border Service of the FSB of the Russian Federation regularly read to foreign ships the call to "stay away", calling the waters around the occupied peninsula their own.
"The vagaries of the weather also became an additional test for the participants in the exercises. Thus, the night lighting production had to be performed in stormy weather, in fact, during a thunderstorm," the press center said.
As we reported before, the international naval exercises Sea Breeze - 2020 began in the Black Sea.
"The international naval exercises Sea Breeze - 2020 commenced this morning in the Black Sea," the statement said.

The first units of what would become the Special Operations Forces were transferred from the GRU in 2009 as part of the continuing 2008 Russian military reform.[23] The Special Operations Forces Command was set up in 2012 and announced in March 2013 by the Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov.[24][25] According to Gerasimov, the SOF was designed as a strategic-level asset, whose primary missions would be foreign interventions, including sabotage and anti-terrorism operations.[26][27] The Special Operations Forces Command reached full operational capability in 2013.
SOF does not belong to any branch of the Russian armed forces and are distinct from the Special Forces of the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces that until 2010 were under the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU) and whose subsequent subordination was left unclear[28][24] until 2013 where the decision was reversed and Spetsnaz GRU units were reassigned to GRU divisions and placed under GRU authority again.[29] Russia's SOF are manned exclusively by professional personnel hired on contract, of which all are regular servicemen.
In February 2015, Russian President Vladimir Putin decreed that 27 February be the Day of the SOF to mark, according to Russia's official news media (albeit not acknowledged formally), the establishment of Russian control over the building of the Supreme Council of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea in Simferopol, Ukraine, in February 2014.

Lyrics:
I summoned you, please come to me
Don't bury thoughts that you really want
I fill you up, drink from my cup
Within me lies what you really want
Come, lay me down
'Cause you know this
'Cause you know this now
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night
Just call my name, I'm yours to tame
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night
I'm wide awake, I crave your taste
All night long till morning comes
I'm getting what is mine, you gon' get yours, oh
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, oh
These burning flames, these crashing waves
Wash over me like a hurricane
I captivate, you're hypnotized
Feel powerful but it's me again
Come, lay me down
'Cause I know this
'Cause I know this now
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night
Just call my name, I'm yours to tame
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night
I'm wide awake, I crave your taste
All night long till morning comes
I'm getting what is mine, you gon' get yours, oh
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, oh
And just call on me, ah, just call my name
Lie with me in
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night
Just call my name, I'm yours to tame
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night
I'm wide awake, I crave your taste
All night long till morning comes
I'm getting what is mine, you gon' get yours, oh
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the night, oh whoa
